Age of Rebirth

Chapter 740 Counterattack

Commander of the Kwantung Army's Southward Corps, and Lieutenant General Yano Yinsaburo, the deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, formulated a plan to go north to Lingyuan, bypass the defense line of the Liuguhe Independent Division, pass through the Dongfeng area, and go south to Pingjin. The unanimous opposition of all the generals of the army.

According to the regulations of the Kwantung Army, Yano Yinsaburo can punish them for disobedience. The so-called "law does not blame the public", Yano can't dismiss all division and brigade commanders and replace them with new ones, which is not conducive to the stability and stability of the army Commanding the battle, my father is Lieutenant General Yano Yinsaburo, who was born in sauce soup. He has no choice but to deal with these senior generals who are well-established and come from noble families. What's more, his plan has a fatal flaw, that is, The time problem is solved.

In the silent atmosphere, the sea breeze blowing from outside was not so cool anymore. Yano Otozaburo, who was waiting to be burned, looked at these senior generals who were sitting upright and not looking sideways. The expression on his face was clearly extremely contemptuous. , The pressure in the form made him feel even more panicked.

A senior staff officer tiptoed in and handed him two telegrams. After reading it, Yano Otozaburo lowered his head dejectedly, lamenting and feeling discouraged. Rebuke him for being whimsical and disregarding the actual situation. [

If this plan is in the battle performance class of the Imperial Army University, it can also be used as a satisfactory homework, and can get a first-class evaluation from the instructor. Looking at the North China battlefield and the General Staff Headquarters, you have to question Yano-kun. Battle Command Capabilities.

I don't know if it was the small staff member of the General Staff Headquarters who sent the call back on behalf of the pen. Anyway, Yano was stunned. The reply from the Kwantung Army Command rejected his plan, but the words were very polite. First of all, he was affirmed. The bold idea, and then tactfully explain the reason for the negative, is a matter of time.

The North China Imperial Army in Tianjin couldn't afford to wait, and said, His Excellency Commander Nanjiro had carefully read his plan and greatly appreciated it, thinking that it could be adopted boldly in future operations. This urge to cry, after all, is from her natal family!

See Your Excellency, Commander, and keep silent about the plan just now. All the senior generals of the Japanese army also know what is going on. Smiling secretly, since the plan was not approved, Yano Otozaburo had to return to the old question of how to break through the blocking position of the independent division as soon as possible.

The battle situation reported by Lieutenant General Sakuro Hirayama, head of the No.17 Division, attracted Yano's attention. Part of the frontier, but because the follow-up troops did not catch up in time, and it was getting late, the breakthrough was blocked by the firepower of the independent division troops. Now, the remaining troops of the two brigades of the Ono Regiment still occupy most of the [-] Heights position.

Lieutenant General Yano Yinsaburo almost slapped Lieutenant General Hirayama Sakuryo several times, and then severely scolded Lieutenant General Hirayama for being an idiot. If this important situation was reported as soon as possible, he would command all the troops to press up and follow along. With this breakthrough, regardless of whether it is dark or not, can't it break the practice of the imperial army not fighting at night?

Perhaps, tomorrow morning, a big gap will be opened in the blocking defense line of the Chinese army. He is already standing on the tower of Shanhaiguan, overlooking the wilderness of eastern Jidong. How did Sakuyo Hirano, who can only attack head-on and has rigid tactical command, climb to the high position of division commander?

But what can Yano Yinsaburo say?Uncle Hirayama, who held an important position in the General Staff Department of the base camp, took Yano and sent him to a small island to serve as the garrison commander. Without any effort, Yano swallowed hard, and first praised the No.17 division and division The head of the regiment, Lieutenant General Hirayama Sakuyo, praised him as worthy of being an elite division of the Kwantung Army and a famous general, until Hirayama Sakuyo was complacent, his face was flushed, and he was somewhat carried away.

Then he changed the subject and asked in a questioning manner: "Mr. Pingshan, do you still want to make greater achievements?" The voice was full of temptation. To the ears of other generals, it was like telling a child that not far ahead, There are more fun toys waiting for you to get them. Hirayama's desire has long been blown into his head, so there is no reason not to agree.

Lieutenant General Yano Yinsaburo strikes while the iron is hot and orders the Ono Regiment of the Hirayama Division to send two more brigades to quietly cross the Liugu River under the cover of night and reinforce the previously occupied positions. Attack, pin down the Chinese army in other directions, strengthen the fourth tank regiment with the strength of the two divisions, and open the gap with the Sansanqi highland in Montenegro as the main breakthrough target.

This battle arrangement is very methodical, the measures are effective, the attack point is selected accurately, and the shots are ruthless enough. From the eyes of these senior commanders, Yano Yinsaburo finally saw some admiration, which made him very depressed. Inside, get some satisfaction.

Just as the Ono Regiment of the Japanese Army was preparing to send additional troops overnight to the Sansanqi Highland in Montenegro, Feng Jiwu’s troops to counterattack a regiment of the Japanese Army on the Sansanqi Highland had already begun to move. The First Regiment of the Third Brigade was one of the reserve teams that Feng Jiwu kept in his hands and was reluctant to use. After listening to the sound of guns and artillery for five or six days in a row, the more than 3000 soldiers of the Third Brigade were going crazy. It was some company and battalion commanders who went to the regiment headquarters to inquire about the news almost every day. The first regiment commander Liu Jinshan was tortured to the point of collapse by these eager subordinates.

After receiving the order from the brigade headquarters, more than 3000 members of the regiment immediately pulled to the Montenegro defense line overnight. Under the leadership of the guide sent by the original garrison, they took advantage of the night to touch the positions occupied by the Japanese from the flanks of the Sansanqi Highland. Like ink, you can't see your fingers, and the whole highland is silent. The soldiers on both sides who fought bloody for five days paid great attention to preserving their own strength. They exposed their targets with live shots, and were caught by the opponent's artillery, causing a catastrophe.

The first battalion, one company and one platoon are the sharp knife platoons of the whole regiment, walking in front of the main force, more than 400 meters away from the company. The platoon leader Guo Quanyou joined the independent division in the Taihang Mountains. The battle sequence of the Guard Corps is a veteran who has been in the army for more than three years. He has experienced several large-scale battles and has rich combat experience. After doing it, the soldiers in the platoon felt wronged for the platoon leader, but Guo Quanyou himself felt pretty good.

Because of Guo Quanyou, the platoon fought a lot of beautiful battles, and even Liu Jinshan, the head of the platoon, knew the name of the platoon. In front, after five consecutive days of shelling, the [-] highlands were covered with pits of different depths, half-blown tree stumps, and stone stubbles sharper than knives. A little carelessness did not encounter devils , Get yourself seriously injured first.

Guo Quanyou groped forward step by step based entirely on his feeling. His eyes had completely lost their function. The experience accumulated in several battles came in handy. He mobilized all his senses and carefully sensed all the abnormal sounds in the darkness. Behind him was a long line of Soldiers, suddenly, an extremely slight sound sounded not far in front of them. Guo Quanyou waved his hand, and all the soldiers in the squad immediately stopped advancing, and the Somi submachine gun in their hands was ready to shoot.

After a while, the sound disappeared, and the surroundings were still solidified in darkness. Guo Quanyou heard the sound of people's breathing when he walked around a pile of rocks. Which battalion of the sharp knife troops was this, advancing faster than himself?He reached out his hand to feel for a slippery and cool steel helmet, just like his own, and the other party also reached out to feel for it. No one spoke, and the two small troops moved towards the high ground side by side.

I don't know who it was, suddenly fell down, and there was a muffled groan, accompanied by a low curse, it was this sound that made Guo Quanyou's hairs stand on end, "Little devil!" In Japanese, Guo Quanyou's whole body's functions immediately started to activate, and he squeezed the hands of the soldiers who followed closely behind him. This is a common term for the whole platoon, which means ready to fight. The soldiers of a squad quietly aimed their submachine guns at their sides A looming black shadow moving forward.

Guo Quanyou opened fire, and the flames from the muzzle of Suomi's submachine gun danced like flames in the dark night. He clearly saw a close-up, terrified and unbelievable face, and the khaki military uniform that was deep in his heart, before Guo Quanyou opened fire. At the same time, a squad of soldiers pulled the trigger almost at the same time, and the shadow beside him screamed and fell down. [

A Japanese vanguard squad was wiped out by Guo Quanyou and his squad. The silent night was broken by this shower of gunfire. Their right flank was only about 100 meters away, and countless black figures were struggling to climb up like ghosts.

Guo Quanyou didn't think too much, turned his gun almost instinctively, and fired violently at those black shadows. The gunfire of the platoon leader was the signal. The soldiers of a squad opened fire violently in the direction Guo Quanyou shot. None of them I saw that there was something hidden in that darkness, but it was all based on my trust in the platoon leader. When I heard the gunshots, the whole platoon rushed to form a fire net.

The grenade was thrown over, and in the flames of the explosion, seeing the figures of several Japanese soldiers, Guo Quanyou only gave a short order: "The whole platoon is nailed here! The second squad leader went to the regiment to report that the large Japanese troops attacked at night." This is a death sentence. Order, as long as there is one living person in a row, the little devil will not be able to move forward.

It was originally a covert mission carried out by both sides, but because of the sudden exchange of fire, it lost its meaning and turned into a sudden outbreak of hand-to-hand combat. The commanders of both sides were caught off guard.
